The proposed platform is intended to support beneficiaries of the student loan scheme in accessing job opportunities both within Nigeria and abroad. According to NELFUND, the initiative is part of the broader Renewed Hope Agenda and is designed to facilitate a smooth transition for graduates into the labour market.
While the agency clarified that it will not directly guarantee employment, it emphasized that the portal will serve as a critical tool in linking graduates to job opportunities, ultimately enhancing the impact of the student loan programme.
The centralised job portal is expected to become operational by 2026.
